NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans City Councilmembers have released the following statements responding to Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s refusal to honor her own administration’s November 2024 agreement settling the longstanding legal battle with NOLA Public Schools and providing funding for kids with mental health challenges, incarcerated youth, and teenagers in the workforce:

NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans City Council is notifying the public that the position of Registrar of Voters for Orleans Parish has become vacant.

the City of New Orleans for an uncertain future.
